🏖️VILLAGE GAZALI North #Goa🏖️

So, About 500 Mts North of Mandrem Beach Starting Point
(while both Arambol and Mandrem have a contiguous shore line; but the Border is marked by the Statue of Valinkanni at Southern End of Arambol, where people go for prayer every Sao Joao)
(2) Last evening, just about 100 Mts North from an Official Shack at Arambol; There was a Russian Lad and an Indian Girl/Woman were frolciking a lot. Kissing and Smooching Etc (I did not go to Arambol Side, last evening, as I had to hurry back due to an exigency).
The Russian Man
supposedly is quite well to do and Rides a BULLET (Obviously, Private One).

So this Russian and Indian Woman, were Kissing and all in evening. Now, Currently Sunset occurs around 1800 hrs and Last Light around 1830.

The Russian Man and Indian Woman, kept on in dark.

THREAD: How Bengaluru Buried 3,000 Years Under Asphalt 🧵

1/ Take a moment. Picture Chikkajala—a megalithic burial site predating empires we revere. Unearthed by Captain Branfil in colonial times, packed with Iron Age cists (500-1000 BCE) and striking black-and-red pottery. Priceless for science. Until we paved it over. What a legacy, eh? 🏗️🪦🏛️

#GemsofASI #ArchaeologyImage
2/ This wasn't just dirt. A 3,000-year-old cemetery fused with a fortified temple, etched stepwell boasting fish, turtles, scorpions. Hoysala pillars, Vijayanagara scripts, a bicentennial Hanuman shrine, and a peepal tree clinging to granite like ancient defiance. But highways wait for no history. 🛣️🕳️🗿Image
3/ ASI listed Chikkajala among 208 protected gems in Bangalore Circle. Ironclad safety? Hardly. When NHAI bulldozed the entrance in 2011 for airport road expansion, ASI shrugged: Not our circus. Bureaucratic brilliance. 🙄📜🚧 Image

Just watched @JeffDean talk on the last 15 years of ML progress and the launch of Gemini 3.0. It is actually wild to look back. From manually coding gradients on a hypercube in the 90s to solving Math Olympiad problems today.

The recipe remains surprisingly consistent: Scale + Better Algos + Hardware.

A few highlights and notes 🧵👇
1/ The Unsupervised Spark Jeff reminisced about the 2012 "Cat Paper." 10M YouTube frames, unsupervised. No labels, yet neurons emerged that specifically detected faces and cats. This was the moment. The model "grokking" high-level concepts from raw pixel soup. Also Word2Vec—vector arithmetic (King - Man + Woman = Queen) showing semantic space is real. ✨
2/ The Compute Cliff Around 2012, Jeff did the math: if 100M people used speech rec for 3 mins/day on CPUs, Google would need 2x their total datacenters. Impossible. Solution: Specialized hardware. TPUs. Realization: Neural nets are tolerant of low precision. You don't need fp32. You need massive, low-precision linear algebra. 🔢

THREAD: Why Agribusiness Is the NEXT Big Investment Opportunity

1/
Everybody keeps chasing tech, crypto, real estate…
Meanwhile the REAL goldmine is the one we all eat from daily: Agribusiness.
And trust me — this sector is about to explode. Image
2/
Here’s the secret nobody says loudly:
People can delay buying a car.
People can cancel vacation.
But nobody cancels food.
Food demand never sleeps — not even in recession.
3/
Population up.
Urbanization up.
Food demand rising.
Climate stress rising.
Result?
The world is desperate for smart investors who can fund sustainable food systems.
Agriculture isn’t “rural work.” It’s a global necessity.

If you’re a sensitive gentleman, you often have to design self-interest out of the equation for you to press gas all the way down. The 2 levers you’ll want to master are both FRAMING + the “value gap”

All frame must be come from “i am here to serve them & do the best i can for them”. Them-focused, you are simply a medium for their value. “Am i them-focused?”

+

“Is the value here astronomically slanted in their direction?”

If u can get 2 yesses

U can press foot down all
The way. For the senstivie gentleman the limiter is usually one of these 2 variables
This also applies to procrastination in the micro. The flow comes when something is bigger than u. U can swallow ur own incentives with designing serving into it. Then the blocks stop being “yours” & moreso become logstical / operational puzzles
This takes some training because u will “forget & go back to defualt” but u can beat it into ur face with reps.

All of my sales calls are from this frame. This is why i can take a call anywhere @ anytime @ close zero issue. I will simply solve the problem & hold them to their highest self, out of love.

1/6 Mr. Omar Abdullah — you were given a mandate and a manifesto. Today that manifesto reads like an obituary for promises. Restore statehood? Restore 370? Protect jobs and land? Silence. Resignation and a public apology are the only decent options left. #ResignNow + Image
Image
Image
2/6 You vowed to defend J&K’s special status and local safeguards. Instead we have diluted protections, diluted hope. Words of outrage on TV, silence in action — a shameful double act. Accountability isn’t optional; it’s demanded. +
3/6 One lakh jobs, youth guarantees, welfare for the poor — slogans that evaporated into announcements and headlines. Youth are unemployed, startups starved, dreams postponed. Leadership that speaks but does not deliver is a betrayal. +

You know who wrote an 82 page pros memo and a 60 count draft indictment after spending a year reviewing Florida's investigation and then doing one of her own for 15 months?? Image
And what did she say about possible co-conspirators after all that work? Image

1/ We recently investigated what happened with a devastating wave of bird flu earlier this year, as egg prices hit record highs.

It's a story that illuminates the ways the U.S. is failing to control what could become the next pandemic. 🧵
2/ The U.S. Department of Agriculture typically attributes bird flu outbreaks to cases where farmers have not done enough to protect flocks from contamination by wild birds.

But that's not what happened here.
propublica.org/article/bird-f…
3/ We were able to trace the outbreak using genomic data sampled from the farms with infected poultry.

The data told another story: hens in one egg farm got infected, and then the contagion spread, lighting up one of the most poultry-dense areas of the country within weeks.

are you crazy?
which kind of "kid" do you mean?
until i was 6 we had three rooms in the house, living room, kitchen, bedroom where i slept with parents
toilet was outside in the hut where it was cold and where i was always afraid to fall down into the place you ABSOLUTELY don't want to fall down into (donald? you do don't you?)
then when i was six we added two rooms by integrating the animal kitchen and splitting the bedroom in two to have an indoor bathroom with toilet
so the former animal kitchen became the new parent's bedroom, i was left alone in the old one (happy) which was diminuished in size by splitting off a room for toilet and bathtub and washing place
i remember vividly when i was six years where i woke up because the parents in the middle of the night transported a huge garderobe from their old bedroom into their new one
i don't know why they did it in the middle of the night perhaps because there was so much work then in the country, dad worked from monday morning to saturday evening relentlessly only sunday was free then
also school was from monday to saturday (noon) then now those softies have saturday off and maybe later friday off also and one day finally whole week off

ok so that was kid till age of six, so phone was in living room and only mom and dad were allowed to lift it and say luckerbauer into the mike

that was when i was young but when mom was young it was quite weird

we had four telephones in the village, postal office, township village authority, the factory (cardboard factory SAMSUN), and our house, because grandpa was THE electrician there and wanted his own phone

when somebody from outside the village called our village all four phones chimed at the same time, and in those four most important places of the village everyone got on high alert

if it chimed once it was for the postal office
if it chimed twice it was for the municipal authority
if it chimed thrice it was for the factory
and if it chimed four times it was for US

i guess @sama we should implement that system again nowadays with all those phones everyone has

sorry my questioneer i forgot the question what was it that you wanted to know?
@theamelia__ mom was born 1940 so this was early fifties later they abandoned that system for obvious reasons
@theamelia__ animal kitchen was for cooking food for the animals as they digested cooked potatoes and ruam or ruabm or rüben better than raw ones ,, we also had lots of burgunder for our animals they really liked burgunder

@GaryAmbrosia @SomeBitchIIKnow Even so, it was a characteristically gutless thing for him to do. His idea of a fair fight was for him to recruit a few hundred of his followers, and get them to gang up on one person. In this case, that would be me.
@GaryAmbrosia @SomeBitchIIKnow If you're seeing these last few tweets, that's probably because you're one of my followers. As I said, I'm not going to waste my holidays butting heads with a clown.

After I unroll this thread (again, updating it and archiving it), I'm going to set my tweets back to private.
@GaryAmbrosia @SomeBitchIIKnow At least until January and probably past June, because I have stuff to do. And the trolls don't.
